Capanna, a revered name in Montalcino, extends its commitment to quality beyond viticulture to the production of exceptional extra virgin olive oil. The 2020 vintage of their Olio Extravergine Di Oliva is a testament to the unique terroir of their Tuscan estate. Sourced from olive groves situated at elevations mirroring their esteemed Sangiovese vineyards, the olives benefit from optimal sun exposure and well-drained soils, contributing to the oil's distinctive character. This 50cl bottling represents a meticulous approach to olive oil production, from careful hand-harvesting to cold-pressing, ensuring the preservation of its aromatic integrity and phenolic compounds.
